International Applicant Transfer Service - Market Engagement

The UK Home Office is conducting market engagement to identify suppliers for a new managed service to support the transfer of eligible individuals from foreign countries to the UK under government-to-government migration partnership arrangements. The service will include travel booking, accommodation, ground transport, operational coordination, and wrap-around support services. The Home Office seeks a flexible, responsive, and cost-effective solution capable of handling variable volumes and multiple delivery locations, potentially involving subcontractors. This market engagement aims to assess supplier capabilities, refine service specifications, and evaluate proposed delivery and commercial approaches, including wrap-around support, management information systems, invoicing, cost transparency, subcontracting models, and geographic flexibility. The expected contract award is December 2026 with a March 2027 start date, following a mobilisation period. The contract duration is 4 years with an optional 2-year extension. The estimated contract value is indicatively between £0-£20m, subject to finalisation. No guaranteed volumes or service commitments apply. All details, including scope, geography, value, and timeline, are subject to change.
